A robotic obstacle-crossing device mainly includes a wheel body and an obstacle-crossing body, wherein the wheel body includes a wheel part, a first obstacle-crossing part and a second obstacle-crossing part. When the sweeping robot tilts, the plurality of first recessed portions and the plurality of second recessed portions provided on the periphery of the first obstacle-crossing part and the second obstacle-crossing part provide a climbing function. In addition, when the sweeping robot encounters obstacles or steps, the obstacle-crossing body can provide robot the function of the obstacle-crossing or climbing, thereby reducing the number of situations when the sweeping robot is trapped or unable to effectively climb upon encountering an obstacle or a steep road surface.

A suspension damping device installed at a chassis of a mobile robot comprises a vehicle frame, a controlling arm set and a damping device. The vehicle frame is fixed to the chassis and arranged on the ground. One end of the controlling arm set is hinged to the vehicle frame, and the other end of the controlling arm set is hinged to a steering device, so the controlling arm set controls the motion stability of the steering device. One end of the damping device opposite to the ground is hinged to the vehicle frame, and the other end of the damping device faced to the ground is hinged to the steering device. A six-wheeled bionic chassis which comprises a chassis frame, a controller, a sensor, front wheel suspension assemblies, middle wheel suspension assemblies and rear wheel suspension assemblies is also disclosed in the present invention.

A vertical surface cleaning device comprising a main body, a cleaning arm, a cleaning head, and leg mechanisms with grippers. The cleaning head applies a cleaning fluid on a surface to carry out a cleaning operation. A waste collector is provided to collect a waste material arising from the cleaning operation. The grippers may remain in a grip or in a release state. The segments of the leg mechanisms are articulatable to configure a first group of the leg mechanisms to stably hold the main body at a first place with the grippers remaining in the grip state. A second group of the leg mechanisms move in a desired direction with their grippers in release state while the first group stably holds the main body. The first group of the leg mechanisms then moves in the same direction while the second group holds the main body at a second place.

A surface adhering mobile coating apparatus includes a surface adhering and traveling device, a spray nozzle, and a spray nozzle X-axis drive device, and a spray nozzle Y-axis drive device. An operation procedure of the coating includes, regarding the timing at which the spray command of the coating material is triggered to the spray nozzle when the spray nozzle is moved from the start point to the end point in the forward or return direction on the X-axis, the timing is the trigger timing at which the spray nozzle leaves the start point in the forward or return direction on the X-axis, therefore, the timing at which the spray is actually started is slightly delayed from the time when the spray nozzle leaves the start point; regarding the timing at which the spray stop command of the coating material is triggered to the spray nozzle when the spray nozzle is moved from the start point to the end point in the forward or return direction on the X-axis, the timing is the trigger timing at which the spray nozzle reaches the part just before the end point in the forward or return direction on the X-axis, therefore, the timing at which the spray is actually stopped is slightly delayed from the time when the spray nozzle reaches the part just before the end point.
